Growing connectivity, new regulations, and long-term operational requirements are pushing cybersecurity decisions into the earliest stages of oil and gas refining project design. In many oil and gas refining projects, OT cybersecurity…
Why OT Cybersecurity Starts Before Design in Chemical Processing
The earliest decisions in a new chemical processing project often have the longest impact. Choices involving automation, supplier access, and long-term support can be difficult and expensive to change once the process…
North America’s Industrial Strainer Challenge: Unpredictable Solids Loading
Industrial strainers are used throughout North America to address a relatively straightforward problem that can become surprisingly complicated in an operating plant: solids and debris can foul, plug, damage or interfere with…
High-Power PoE Simplifies Pharmaceutical Cleanroom Power
In pharmaceutical cleanrooms, providing power to a computer, display, panel PC, thin client, or Human-Machine Interface (HMI) workstation can involve considerably more than simply finding the nearest electrical outlet. Every new AC…
Why OT Cybersecurity in Water Treatment Starts Before Design
Growing connectivity, new regulations, and long-term operational requirements are pushing cybersecurity decisions into the earliest stages of industrial project design. In many water treatment projects, OT cybersecurity is still treated as something…
Tread Cutter Attachment Expands Tire Processing Options
For recyclers, processing larger truck and OTR tires can present a significant challenge, even for operations that already have shredding equipment. OTR, or off-the-road, tires are the much larger, heavier tires used…
Food Processing: Rupture Disk Optimized for Low Burst Pressure in Atmospheric Storage Systems
Sanitary atmospheric tanks are often used in food processing to hold, mix, or store materials or liquid ingredients such as milk, juice, sauces, syrups, soups, and dressings. The term atmospheric refers to…
Finding the Sweet Spot for More Efficient Sewer Cleaning
For municipal sewer departments, effective line cleaning depends on more than powerful jetter trucks and high-performance nozzles. Operators must balance nozzle selection, water flow, pressure, truck RPMs, hose travel speed and actual…
Rugged Switchgear – a Reliable Data Center’s Bedrock
As demand for cloud services, large-scale data processing, and artificial intelligence continues to grow, hyperscale data centers have expanded dramatically in size. It is now typical for a single campus to encompass…
Your Press Got Faster. Did Your Mail Finishing Operation Keep Up?
As production inkjet increases upstream capacity, inserting, verification, material handling and job changeovers can become the new production bottleneck. The key is determining net production capacity, not simply comparing rated machine speeds….
